Abstract

A new model for UHF propagation in large buildings is presented. This model relies on knowledge of the interior arrangement of the building without requiring much detail. The guiding of radiation along hallways is the most significant propagation process at distances of more than 10 m from the transmitter. The waveguide model predicts the power loss rate along the hallways, which is affected by the coupling among the propagating modes. The coupling results from the roughness of the surfaces in the building; it is predicted in an average manner using the average deviation of the walls from perfect smoothness.
